• Memorial of St. Josaphat, 1580-1623; born in what is now Ukraine, became a Basilian monk, then a priest, and was soon known as a preacher and ascetic; as bishop of Vitebsk and archbishop of Polotsk, he found that most monks did not desire reunion with Rome; however, Josaphat won the greater portion of Orthodox in that area to the union; but in the following year, the rumor was spread that he had “gone Latin,” and his followers would be forced to do the same; he went to Vitebsk, and a mob assembled; Josaphat was struck with a halberd, then shot, and his body thrown into the river; tt was later recovered and is now buried in St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome
